五欲昏神識　五蓋蔽福力
六根成苦集　六賊亂心色
欲浪逐情飄　愛網隨心織
三毒障人空　四流漂不息
至金雖改秋　斬籌方未極
觀鴿既無窮　猿攀此焉伏
自非絕欲蓋　何能遠昇陟
齊𲄳屆寶城　共覩能仁德

"The five desires darken the conscious spirit;
the five hindrances obscure the power of merit.
The six sense faculties become the accumulation of suffering;
the six thieves disrupt mind and form.
The waves of desire drift along with passions;
the net of craving weaves following the mind.
The three poisons obstruct [realization of] the emptiness of persons;
the four floods drift on without rest.
Though the supreme gold endures past autumn,
cutting the tallies has not yet reached the end.
Since observing the pigeon is boundless,
how can the monkey's climbing here be subdued?
Unless one cuts off the hindrance of desires,
how could one ascend far away?
With equal steps reaching the Jeweled City,
together we behold the virtue of the Benevolent One."
